Term 1 Start Date and Details

Thank you for those club members who managed to come out for our club day on the 2nd of  February. It was great catching up with all of you for some fun and games to get us back into the club spirit.

Start date

The club’s first formal training session for term 1 of 2019 is Tuesday the 5th of February. As there is conditioning on Tuesdays, both Tuesday classes will begin at 6pm with the U13 and beginners finishing at 7pm. The senior fencing class will be finishing at 8pm with Alex’s strengthening and conditioning training running from 8pm – 9pm.

There are a couple of things to note. First of all, our senior classes will be starting at 6pm instead of 7pm. This is to help accommodate and include a fitness and conditioning class that will be run by Alex from 8 – 9pm on Tuesday evenings. Thursday evenings will also be finishing at these new times.

Currently we are trying to gauge interest in having a Wednesday 4pm – 6pm class, so those who are interested in a Wednesday class are to speak to Robert. Due to a drop in attendance to this session, it is unlikely that this session will carry on. There are no Wednesday Classes till further notice.

A full list of the session times can be found here.
